* NOTE
********************************************************************************

- Replicating results requires STATA 16.0/SE
- Running the replication code takes approx. 2 minutes.
- Please contact author should any problems occur.



********************************************************************************
* REPLICATION STEPS
********************************************************************************

- To replicate all results follow these steps:

	-> Set working directory in file "replication.do".
	-> If necessary, install required .ado-files as indicated in "replication.do".
	-> Run file "replication.do" to replicate all statistical results.



********************************************************************************
* DATA FILES USED IN STATA 16.0 (VERSION SE 64-bit x86-64)
********************************************************************************

1. "replication_data_analysis_1.dta": used to replicate all statistical analyses reported in the manuscript and the supporting information.

2. "replication_data_analysis_2.dta": used to replicate Figure 16 in the manuscript as well as Tables SM.1.2 and SM.4.3 in the supporting information.

3. "replication_data_figure_1.dta": used to replicate Figure 1 in the manuscript.

4. "replication_data_figure_15.dta": used to replicate Figure 15 in the manuscript.

5. "replication_data_figure_SM_1_1.dta" and "replication_data_figure_SM_1_1_shapes.dta": used to replicate Figure SM.1.1 in the supporting information.

All other data files are auxiliary and created by running "replication.do".



********************************************************************************
* STATA .DO FILE (STATA/SE 16.0 FOR WINDOWS 64-bit x86-64)
********************************************************************************

1. "replication.do": commands to be used with datasets (see above) in order to replicate:

	-> Table 1 in the manuscript.
	-> Figures 1 to 16 in the manuscript.
	-> Tables SM.1.1 to SM.4.3 in the supporting information.
	-> Figures SM.1.1 to SM.3.2 in the supporting information.
